I haven't got to see Barkley play much this year, but based on what you have just said you have described what sounds like a 2nd round pick to me at best.

Ryan Tannehill is a top ten pick and Brandon Weeden is a first round pick but Matt Barkley is a second pick at best?

If Matt Barkley played for any other school, that would never have been posted. Rest assured, my friend, we'll be back to rag on the naysayers soon enough._________________

If Matt Barkley played for any other school, he wouldn't have received anywhere near the hype he did. He was never a #1 prospect.

LOL, hardly. He was the #1 high school prospect in the nation in 2009 per ESPN. The hype didn't start at USC, it simply followed him there.

Disagree. Look at Jimmy Clausen. Maybe right after he came out of high school but he wouldn't have received the same hype(or help) he did at USC at most other schools. Barkley doesn't have the physical tools to go #1._________________

Off the field? Like when he is grocery shopping, does he block the freezer aisle with his sluggish selection of which hungry man to buy?

... The hell? Seriously, how in the world did you interpret that from what I typed?

I said that some people's obvious hate for USC is beginning to result in Barkley getting underrated. He's a better prospect than Tannehill and Weeden put together. I then said that us two will be back here to clown on the certain posters who honestly believe that Barkley is a second round talent._________________

My mistake, I thought you were implying that Barkley would bust._________________

LOL, what about Jimmy Clausen? He was a high profile recruit, went to a school not named USC and yet, he still got a massive amount of unwarranted hype. I fail to see your point.

As the nation's #1 overall recruit, Matt Barkley was a walking, talking hype train and it didn't matter if he went to USC or Backwoods State College, he was gonna get more press than he ultimately deserved either way.
